I’ve done it

id

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

Thanks @ASHacker for this Box and my team-mates for tips and helps :slight_smile:

Doesn’t count if you don’t show the hostname of the machine :lol:
Ok :wink:

# cat <hide>/hostname && id
cache
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

Looks like there is another login page for H**, but I can’t find it anywhere! Any hints?

Rooted! Very nice box!

finally!!! got root good machine , with quite good challanges like sq** and dock** ,

Foothold: enumeration is key ,look closer and find exploit be more specific in chossing exploit

user: Take notes to keep track what have u found ,may be it can be used later;
root: Take advantage of services hosted locally that will lead u to root , again enumeration is key,Keep digging u should know your powers;

if u need help Discord: itachi982#0535

if that helped u give me respect at : #itachi982 #ID:182298

fuzz that virtual host network

Rooted. Cool box, i learned a few things. Overall, I think Admirer was a bit harder than this one, but both were good experiences.

  1. Enum and Foothold is the most challenging part of this box
  2. Due to issues I had with the low priv shell, I ended up doing the work to get to the ‘lateral’ user first, got a better shell and then was able to back up into the user holding the flag based on enum.
  3. root isn’t difficult, just knowing who you are and some quick research if you are not familiar with the privesc.

Thanks to @Dark0 for the nudge on the foothold.

Do I need the second user for root? Please P.M. if it’s a spoiler

This depends on what your current user is. I got the “second” user before gaining access to the first one :smiley:

Would love a pm hint on enumeration. I found the n**.h*** but assuming that is rabbit hole.

Is P****** P***** supposed to be off by default or is someone messing with those who haven’t made it in yet? I’m finding enumeration on the H** side to be very difficult because it seems like the service is constantly being altered, and finding any way of authenticating to do one of the exploits I’ve found looks like an exercise in futility.

It is supposed to be available. But yes, people tend to constantly break the machine by using ready-made scripts, instead of using a way easier (and more stable) option for gaining RCE on the server.

Google is your best friend when it comes to find a flaw on your victims.

User: Go back to your notes

I am going to chalk this up to working from home and not giving this 100% attention. But I spent over an hour looking for the lateral move before I figured out it was literally the very first thing I found

It’s interesting to see people talk about user and lateral movement. Depending on how you did the box, you could do either user first after you get a foothold. You don’t have to go in a specific order. However one holds the flag and the other is on the path to bigger things. You can definitely get root first and then back track.

Hi,
I suddenly found the /por**l directory is enabled, it was disabled yesterday… which is the original state?

Rooted, need help, let me know.

Rooted.

Very fun box, I learnt a couple new things and have some new tricks up my sleeve now.

I’m interested to hear how others got root first. I think I took intended paths.
